Job fair in Kongsberg


Monday the 19th of April any person from Kongsberg were invited come to a job fair in town arranged by the local office which assist people to find work. Here they could meet employers directly, talk to them and leave their CV for registration.

Many of our participants worked hard to make their CVs look presentable. Some of them did not have very much information to give related to former work experience or school background. This stressed them a little, but we talked about how important personality was, and they decided to focus on this when meeting employers.

We have several immigrants at our school and in our community who really struggles to get their first permanent job. This might be because of the above mention points, but also because of the language barrier they meet. How can you speak fluent Norwegian before you get the chance to take fully part of a community, we ask.

Maybe some of our partners can help me out here? Do you in Germany, France, Turkey and Spain meet the same problems?

To see the article which was in the local paper before the job fair, press here. (Again, you might learn some usful phrases in Norwegian :-)

We frequently face to this kind of problem with several employees of “Jardin Solidaire”. In order to help them to improve French vocabulary and feel much more comfortable with language, GRETA put in place some communication lessons.
